I think I'll stick to the men's records. I'm too old for a sex change operation.

Why on earth would they do something like this? I can see seperate records for athletics, it makes sense for example for seperate women's and men's weight lifting records. There are physical differences, but for fishing? Catching big fish is more about brains and experience then brawn.

They already recognize separate catagories for salt water catches, they are just extending it to freshwater too.

Yeah I'd noticed that before, and get trying to standardize it. My observation was aimed more at the why the split to begin with. And no, i don't expect anyone here to really have an answer, the powers that be do as they choose because they are the powers that be.
